Used to live in Lincoln NE, where our man grew up. Someone grabbed Steelheart for me from the library. I believe I went back and grabbed book two, but not three. Fast forward a few years, I've moved away, and during the move we visited my grandparents and someone at church recommended I read Sanderson, I looked him up, realized I'd read his books before, got into the Cosmere, loved the interconnected universe that is amazing and here I am.

All things denote there is a God? I get the feeling this is doctrinal mastery and I feel dumb if I don't remember. I hope this is it. Yes indeed. This is exactly what I wanted to say. I'll just add, most people who try to use scientific principles to deny God don't exactly understand the scientific principles themselves. For instance, there is a common misconception that the Plank distance is the smallest distance measurable, despite the fact that we have measured smaller things. @Ancient Elantrian I know there a lot of things that don't make sense. I have those types of things too, and maybe one day I will share them here. As I've shared with Thaidakar before though, God is reason. Read verse 3 of Oh My Father it talks about Heavenly Mother, but the other important detail is that Truth is Reason, even if we can't understand it yet. But two things to remember. Faith is hope in things that are not seen(Maybe that is the verse Mason refered to). It is better to have faith in Heavenly Father's plan and then die and nothing exist than to deny him and reap what you sow in the life to come. And God will tell you things, but you must act in faith. One of the Doctrinal Mastery scriptures, I think it was in John, By keeping his commandments we learn his gospel. Never let go of your faith, no matter how much you don't want to believe it. Because your faith will sustain you through all things if you hold fast to it.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

Are either of these real? Or are they just clones of an earlier post. -

I'll make a petition for a separate forum category for them. If enough people like the idea I'll share it with Chaos. It's amazing the things I just don't notice in my readthroughs. Wowza. -

I think every single person should do one of these for SA5 -

Keep in mind the Horneater gods. The safest bet is that people have been crossing the perpendicularity, both worldhoppers and our redhead friends, for centuries at the least. There is no reason the people shown have to have been on Roshar ever. They could very well be great-great-grandchildren of Rosharans.

Thank you guys. I appreciate the help.

I'm painting some cosmere designs, and I was wanting to know what colors dragonsteel and harmonium are. I've seachered the coppermind, arcanum, and even reddit, but I cannot find anything that says what the colors are. I am fairly convinced the color of harmonium is mentioned in chapter 7 of BoM, but I don't have a copy to look it up in.

I would disagree. Sure if an explicit scene is coming you might be able to notice and skip, but how do you know how far to skip? And what if it comes up on you and you didn't notice? Or cuss words that pop up randomly? I think those make this project a valid idea. Using AI is pretty simple. My plan is to give the AI a text, alongside a prompt like "find all occasions withing this text that are xyz undesirable things" then, with whatever response it returns, remove the offending text. I should be able to find a way to scan through an EPUB file, as it does contain all the text from the book. Perhaps a way to do this legally would be to create an ebook reader that works with EPUB and just blurs the location of offensive text. This wouldn't involve actually editing the contents. Lawyer! @Edema Ruh Can you use your debate research skills to find out whether blurring text would be a copyright infringement. We'll want to look at U.S. law, don't worry about the states or other nations' laws yet. P.S. @dannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnex are you studying CS or do you just a have a working understanding of programming, and what does that knowledge amount to?

I would censor Shakespeare myself.

Oftentime it is passed to the publisher though

You probably have the research skills, and that's what we really need. If you want to help, see what you can find (regarding U.S. law specifically).

That is what I'd like to see, but I know that DRM does make it difficult. I think ebooks would actually be the only format to do this in. Unless you want to build a robot that whites out cuss words and explicit scenes. If we can verify the legality, we can move forward with design, and after that I can actually get to writing code.

religion How has religion impacted you?
Lego Mistborn replied to Robin Sedai's topic in General Discussion
My faith in god gives me purpose. I too, as you can see by my signature, am LDS. As such, I believe in deification/theosis, which is the process of becoming like unto God, in this case, literally becoming as God is. This belief is in my opinion a central tenet to both The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and my personal outlook on life. It has inspired how I: Approach gaining wisdom Care for and love others, friends or not Strive to follow the commandments Deal with adversity View the prospect of creating a family one day in the future. I know that my church is controversial and I understand how it can be hard for those who've been raised different to understand the logical processes that lead me to believe. It's not as though my beliefs have never made life difficult before either. I spend probably 6+ hours a week driving to or from or at church, plus plenty of other time fulfilling my callings, attending early morning seminary, etc. My brother's have been refused places on all star teams because they won't play on the sabbath. I've been bullied and my love life has been turbulent at times, yet I still feel it's worth it. For whatever reason, the prospect of being able to create something as beautiful as this earth and learning the mysteries of the universe is enough to keep me going in between bursts of spiritual outpouring. One other thing. I had a chance to receive my Patriarchal Blessing. It is a special priesthood blessing in which a patriarch(a office of the Melchizedek priesthood) receives guidance for you directly from God. While I hope to still have a long life ahead of me, already this blessing has helped me to make decisions regarding my plans for the future and has confirmed a number of what I now know to be inspired ideas. I know that my Heavenly Father wants me to serve a mission and what he wants me to follow as a career path. This has been my longest post in a while, and perhaps ever, which can also tell you how dearly I hold my faith. If anyone has questions about anything I've said, feel free to ask me and I will happily elaborate. -
We need to find all the lawyers of the shard. I just don't know how to do that. Surely someone does though. I would hesitate to pay someone to do something like this, when I consider(as I expect everyone who is frequenting this thread does) the content to be immoral. I'd much rather use an entity I believe is highly unlikely to have a soul that would be damaged. P.S. Everyone reading this thread that likes the concept: follow it to get updates if/when I write this program, and drop a like on exp's original post.

You're right, there is quite a can of worms there. We'd better get some legal stuff figured out before I get going on making an application. Yes, my plan was to utilize an API key to AI (Ideally free, but who knows) to scan and then simply funtional programming to replace the things.

Nothing is ever a coincidence instead, Mistboron
